Two Candidates.

There does not appear to be much doubt
anywhere that Mr.. Cleveland will be re-
nominated, and there is, therefore, very
little speculation about who will be the
next Democratic candidate for President
There is good deal OF speculation, how
ever, as to who will be the next Democratic
candidate for Vice President. The friends
of Postmaster General Villas and of the
Commissioner of Pensions, Gen. Black, are
attracting attention by their efforts in the
interest of their respective candidates
Gen. Black has not indicated by words or
actions that he would like to be his party's
candidate for Vice President, but some of
the pension agents, who are supposed to be
acquainted with his wishes, are quite active
in securing notices favorable to him for that
position. The ambition to be Vice Presi-
dent is an honorable one, and there is no
reason why Gen. Black should not seek that
Office He has the ability to fill it. In fact
he has ability sufficient TO administer sue
cessfully any Office in the gift of the people.
He would make popular candidate He
is a Grand Army man and no one of the old
veterans has a better war record. The
frequent attacks upon him by the Republi-
can papers, without any apparent reason,
show that they recognize his popularity and
indicate that they would not like to see him
nominated for Vice President.
Postmaster General Villas doubtless has
some friends in the Northwest, and it would
be possible to nominate a less acceptable
man. If the newspaper reports do not do
him injustice he is much more active in
promoting his own interests in connection
with the nomination for Vice President
than Gen. Black. While he has made
very good Postmaster General he has made
some mistakes, which leave the impression
that while he may be very superior orator
he is not very shrewd politician, nor a
statesman of marked ability. As between
Gen. Black and Mr.. Villas there is no doubt
that the former is the favorite, both at the
North and at the South. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that either of them will
be nominated.

The New Silver Vault.

Last spring the Treasury Department began
the construction of huge vault for the storage
of silver dollars. There is now a vault of CON
siderable size in the basement of the Treasury
building, but as long ago as December last its
capacity became practically exhausted. Hun
dreds of visitors go down on the elevators daily
to gaze in openeyed wonderment at the cords
of cart wheels piled up in mechanically
even rows. This vault is small compared with
the one now being constructed The new one
will be completed early in November and will
hold by careful storage 1O5 900 900 silver dollars
Large this sum is, it is stated at the Treasury
that there is nearly enough silver now seeking
storage to I'LL up the new vault. 1t is in the
court between the four walls of the Treasury
building. 1t is 80 feet long, 81 feet wide, about
10 feet deep, and rises q few feet only
above ground, The outside walls and the floor
are made of concrete. 1t has air chambers
all about, and an arched roof covered with
brick. OF course there are no windows or other
means for obtaining light, and the air chambers
are depended on TO keep the place dry There is
only one entrance to the vault this being
small door in the southeast corner. There are
nine compartments, separated by iron lattice
work partitions, riyeted together with thousands
of iron bolts Between the compartments are
arranged straight narrow aisles, with small
doors opening into the different sections. The
necessary gas light win be stationed in these
aises. When the silver dollars are in the vault
the pressure is all upon the floor, as the bags are
so piled as not TO lean against the partitions
The greatest skill is required in piHng the bags
as the least unevenness might result in upsetting
the whole pile, and perhaps causing them to fall
outward upon the visitors or employees The
at first thought advisable TO have the walls
double lined with steel. This would have in
creased the expense to more than 100000, so it
was decided to use walls of concrete

Texas Wants More Style.
From the Washington Post.


The people of Texas are very jealous of their
public men, While at home they resent il if
one of their congressman or other public men
should appear among the people in any dress
but the SLOUGH hat and the knce-hgh boot style
which belongs to the soil; yet if they hear that
the standard of the best fashion at the public
and social assemblies in Washington and else
where the offender will have to answer for il
whenever he returns home.
A Texan of some distinction came TO Wash
ington the other day in what was considered for
Washington a shabby outfit Coming from
Texas he fancied he was got up regardless -
But when he met his Congressional friend here
the first thing the latter said was: What in
h-'s the matter, Tom? You certainly do
look tough and shabby You must go to my
tailor's and get new suit of clothes before you
can make an appearance in Washington
society"

Tom to the Congressman II was up in your
county the other day with this same toggery
aboard, and they were going to shoot me for a

man, but it's very different here, you know.
Look at this" and the Congressman took from
the wardrobe In his lodging nice new evening
dreSs-suit.
Great Jupiterl'' exclaimed the new arrival.
amazed at the extraordinary cut of the thing;
and what do you intend to do with tbat?"
The Congressman explained that personally
he was as much opposed to foppery and con
ventionality as anybody, but that the word had
lately come from Texas that the representa-
tives of the Lone Star State must lick the best
of them in the matter of style at Washington,
in CONSCIENCE of which every Texan now in
Washington has provided himself with an even
ing dress including diamond studs and patent
anything else TO be seen here during the coming
winter.
